Collier County deputies found another card skimmer at a gas station on Immokalee Road.

This second find comes just a few days after the discovery of several high tech skimmers at the same station.

While the majority of those were in bigger metro areas, Monday deputies removed a skimmer from the Mobil gas station near I-75 and Immokalee road valued at $500. The manager said she checks the pumps for skimmers every day.

But it's an issue that isn't going away.

The numbers back it up. Collier deputies removed six card skimmers from gas stations last year, they've already gotten seven this year. Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Agriculture removed 219 skimmers in 2016 and 343 so far in 2017 statewide.

Unlike an ATM skimmer, shaking the card reader won't help you.

"It's on the inside. It's on the internal electronics of it, so you as a consumer will not be able to tell a skimmer is there," said Sgt. Brian Sawyer with the Collier County Sheriffs Office

Deputies said you should report any pumps that look like they've been tampered with, monitor your statements, report anything suspicious, use credit over debit and choose your gas pumps wisely.

"If you're in a more visible area either near a security camera or staff you're less likely to be skimmed," said Sgt. Sawyer.

Ask your gas station about the security precautions they take. The more they do, the better for you.

Deputies said the best way to avoid becoming a victim is by using cash over a card.
